The above soldier desires to re-enter Medical School. I have been in close dally observation of this man and his duties sinoe his entrance to the C.A.S.C., about July 16, 1941. He served on the surgical ward for about 6 weeks and was transferred to the operating room, where he has remained to date.

I find this man to be honest, morally upright, energetic, responsible and unusually capable. I understand he has credit thru the 3rd year Medical School. I should like to recommend that this soldier be placed on a status necessary for his finishing his Medical School Training provided he can immediately be re-entered to a Class A Medical School.

Sincerely

Alexander F. Russell

To Whom It May Concern:

I am happy to write a letter in support of Henry K. Silberman, I remember him well as one of the genuinely able men whom we had here at Cornell University in the Army Area and Language study curriculum. Mr. Silberman was a finished scholar in both the German and Italian languages. Against a good number of handicaps he was, nonetheless, able to rise to commissioned rank In the American army. It was my experience that he was an able student, a cooperative person, and a reliable personalty. I think it can be stated without doubt that he has the qualifications necessary to renter the Medical School in order to finish his medical training. He will be a congenial member of a medical student body and of the medical profession,

Sincerely yours,

C.W. de Kiewiet
